Moving company owner, George Turner, poses with friends on Main Street of Tiny Town, Turkey Creek Canyon, Jefferson County, Colorado. Buildings include a gas station, a replica of his warehouse, complete with its trademark light globes, grocery, barber shop, pool hall and residences in the distance. Turner created the one-sixth scale miniature village on the site of the Denver-Leadville stagecoach stop for his daughter, then in 1920 opened the town to the public.
